MILWAUKEE — For the MLB-leading sixth time this season, Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara threw a complete game as he continues to beef up his Cy Young Award case.
But for the first time in those half-dozen outings, he was on the losing end of the decision as the Marlins were shut out by the Milwaukee Brewers, 1-0, on Friday at American Family Field.
Alcantara threw eight dominant innings, giving up just one run on five hits while not issuing a walk and striking out eight. The lone run he gave up came in the sixth inning, when Garrett Mitchell led off the inning with a single, stole second, reached third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a Rowdy Tellez sacrifice fly.
